The European Parliament establishes regulations to regulate tourist rentals on digital platforms

02-03-24

The European Parliament has approved on Thursday, February 29, 2024, a set of rules aimed at regularizing the supply of short-term tourist accommodation on digital platforms such as Airbnb. This measure seeks to harmonize the registration of properties and promote transparency and legality in the sector. 

From now on, EU Member States will have to implement a unified digital system to collect detailed information on rental activities on a monthly basis, including the number of nights booked, the number of guests accommodated, and property-specific data such as address, registration number, and link to the ad.
